(The Hill) - Over 4 million people have called the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline since it first launched last July. But a new poll from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) found that 82 percent of Americans remain unaware of the 911 alternative for mental health crises.The Hill hosted a discussion with lawmakers, mental health experts, and advocates Thursday about increasing awareness and capacity of the hotline. Thus far, the Biden-Harris administration has invested $1 billion in the effort, much of which has gone into hiring crisis counselors and developing systems of support at a local and state level, HHS officials told CNN. Now, NAMI’s Chief Advocacy Officer Hannah Wesolowski told The Hill’s Bob Cusack she is looking for funding dedicated to raising awareness.“One point that often gets lost is that there has not been appropriations for an awareness campaign, so we can't be surprised that awareness is low when we haven't really invested in that wide-scal...Eastbound SH 45 reopens after deadly crash

AUSTIN (KXAN) – In the last 10 years, the U.S. has welcomed over 450,000 refugees, and roughly 10% have settled in Texas – making Texas the state that has received the most refugees, according to the immigration research initiatives.Refugees often flee their home countries out of fear of being persecuted. But while refugees enter the U.S. with hopes of a better life, they can face several challenges when adapting to a new culture. Among those difficulties are finding work and learning the language. One organization helping refugees living in Texas is the Multicultural Refugee Coalition, or MRC, which employs refugees in two different enterprises: sewing and organic farming. “[The goal is] helping them integrate into their communities by giving them fair-waged jobs in two different industries that are well known to them,” said Christina Jones, who works for the nonprofit. And it's not just work: MRC says these enterprises provide a community for the folks involved. "Ri...5 things to know this Friday, July 14
